What Happens When? Understanding Sexual Development

2 hours

Parents, caregivers, trusted adults, and youth-serving professionals often wonder – when does sexual development start? When should I prepare to have “the talk”? This session discusses sexual development from childhood through puberty. Participants will learn about human sexual development, common changes of puberty, common behaviors, and the role trusted adults play in supporting healthy development. Participants assess their comfort level in responding to sexual behaviors and questions from youth. This training is customizable for schools, mental health and community organizations, and parents.
